How to Crochet a Prayer Shawl – Easy Pattern Ideas
Daisy Chain Shawl
A repeating, triangular makes up this Daisy Chain, expandable as needed. It’s an absolutely striking dark to light (center to edge) gradient project in flame tons. In addition, it’s a great transition pattern for advanced beginners wanting to move on to more difficult projects. I think this pattern is definitely one worth considering.

Vintage Vibes Shawl
The Vintage Vibes shawl is a beautiful example of what can be done when you combine a timeless classic; the lacy, airy shoulder throw with a modern color gradient yarn. This is a stunning project that is surprisingly easy to make and one that works up quickly, so that you can have one and be the queen of the gift givers in just a few sessions. Although the color choice is totally yours, the transition from the deep navy to salmon pink is particularly beautiful.

Jaycee Butterly Shawl
The Jaycee butterfly shawl is a wonderful project that combines lepidopteran shapes set out in gorgeous, lacy voids and delicate, pastel hues that wonderfully match the shapes and the texture. The gentle color transitions are very reminiscent of those on the common blue butterfly, but so much more colorful and varied. The shawl is made complete with tassels on the corners. While not the easiest project, an ambitious beginner can take this on and really up their crochet game.
